Eclipse Ventures announced it led Oxide Computer's $445M Series D.
- Oxide, founded by Steve Tuck and Bryan Cantrill, was backed by Eclipse seven years ago when most thought the vision was suicide.
- AI is now driving unprecedented compute demand, pushing enterprises to rethink what they own vs. rent; Oxide's growth is unlike anything the investor has seen.
- The team scaled across engineering, supply chain, sales, and finance at an unprecedented pace.
